Holy shiznets, Sanderson, holy shiznets.Let me just tell you: if you started reading this book and were confused and lost and discouraged in the beginning, you probably want to keep going because this is an oh-my-gods-what-beautiful-perfection book.It drags you into the plot and the perfectly real, real, REAL characters and is just a wonderful book overall.I'm going to need some time out now. I've just lived in another world and invested my emotions into characters from a book and oh my gosh--if you love well-written fantasy, go for it.
